| On March 26, the Federal Bureau of the YABLOKO party applied
to President Medvedev demanding to dismiss Vassily Yurchenko,
Governor of the Novosibirsk region. Violating the Constitution
the Governor voluntarily reduced the number of free trips
accorded to the citizens as a social benefit from an unlimited
number to 30.
Such a decision provoked public discontent in the region.
And in late December 2010 and January – March 2011 citizens
conducted several pickets, a rally and a demonstration in
Novosibirsk.
According to YABLOKO’s Bureau, “the Governor’s decision has
seriously aggravated the social situation in the region and
is violating the Constitution of the Russian Federation,”
as the Russian Constitution prohibits to issue normative acts
cancelling or reducing human rights and freedoms.
